This from the kid that was pumping all the chinese frauds? After being long those companies in 2009 and 2010, while they were getting crushed, we are supposed to believe his investment results were outstanding during that period? Splunk may be overvalued, but why would anyone listen to this know nothing?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/506a0dc2eab8ea5d1d000006PugrimeMon, 01 Oct 2012 17:40:18 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/506a0dc2eab8ea5d1d000006
The disgusting thing here is that some hedge fund manager can short a stock, make a presentation about how much the stock sucks, and close his position at lunch after his presentation drove down the price of the shorted stock. This is blatant manipulation, and its why the retail brokerage business will be dead soon. What person with half a brain wants to try to invest in a rigged market with worthless toothless government regulators who have several donut breaks a day and accomplish absolutely nothing except sucking off the teet of the ameican taxpayers.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5069e5c9eab8ea6240000008Michael BaumMon, 01 Oct 2012 14:49:45 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5069e5c9eab8ea6240000008
I’ve love to know what specific products from Mr. Buckley thinks International Business Machines (IBM), Intel (INTC), Oracle (ORCL), Microsoft (MSFT) and others have that can index terabytes of machine data in real-time and compete with Splunk.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5069e37becad04d921000009PugrimeMon, 01 Oct 2012 14:39:55 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5069e37becad04d921000009
And everyone has an opinion. That's why there are two sides of every trade. I seem to recall all the same noise about countless other very successful software companies - all of whom the stocks run higher and higher on real fundamentals. Buckley is no different than the hedge fund managers who shorted Microsoft in the day. Just another talking head trying to get on cnbc. What a joke the stock market has become.
